LSU punter Jamie Keehn insists that he has found more consistency. And after a slight wobble in the first quarter on Saturday, it's hard to argue with the Australian native.

Keehn was again an off-the-radar MVP for the Tigers in their 28-24 comeback victory against Wisconsin at NRG Stadium in Houston.

He punted eight times for a 42.5-yard average, with five attempts pinning the Badgers inside the 20-yard-line.

Wisconsin also didn't have a positive return on the eight kicks.

The one blemish for Keehn was a 19-yard shank in the first quarter that set the Badgers up for a short field-goal drive the stretched the lead to 10-0.

But Keehn redeemed himself with boots of 64 (career long) and 54 yards later and persistently put Wisconsin in tough spots to drive the ball long distances.

That went hand-in-hand with a stout defensive performance as the 13th-ranked Tigers (1-0) limited the Badgers (0-1) to only 112 total yards after halftime, 37 after the initial series of the third quarter.

Moving the chains

Anthony Jennings' 80-yard touchdown pass to Travin Dural in the first quarter matched the third longest pass play in program history and was the longest since Josh Booty and Reggie Robinson hooked up for an 80-yard bomb in 2000.

With a strong freshman influence, 12 players made their LSU debuts in the victory (8 true freshmen) and four logged their first career starts -- Dural, receiver Trey Quinn, right guard Hoko Fanaika and defensive tackle Christian LaCouture.

LSU won its season opener for the 12th season in a row, all 10 under Les Miles.
